Go for it. As long as you have no "fear of flying". It's an agonisingly 
long road trip. From whatr Jim has posted over the years Yelowknife
gets largish numbers of Asian touristers come to see the Aroura Borealis.

And it has a vibreant upscale dining scene.

  the spices and continue to cook. Take off the fire.
  
  After mixture cools, press the mixture through a sieve to
  form a puree. Add the beef stock or milk so the mixture is
  spreadable.

  bacon fat over the top to seal and add extra flavour.
  Refrigerate until used.
  
  Serve on crackers as a snack or on toast for a hearty
  breakfast.
  
  This recipe is reconstructed by Roslind Minault from
  childhood memories of how her grandfather used to make it
  on the family farm in Rocky Lane, Alberta. The concept
  originated in Quebec and is distinctly French-Canadian.
